The hip is a relatively small area, as parts of the body go, so getting a tattoo here means that you'll either have to have a large tattoo that extends to other parts of your leg or torso, or you'll have to get a small image. Since there is very little muscle and fat available to cover this bony area, getting hip tattoos can cause a certain amount of pain due to the feel of the needle pressing on the nerves and bone. Be prepared to feel this tattoo more than you would feel a tat in the arm or the rest of the leg.
